International: Why Nescot?

Why Nescot?

State-of-the-Art Facilities

We've spent more than £40million on improving our campus over the past few years, including building a new Skills Park, Motor Vehicle Centre and Built Environment Block. We've also refurbished areas including our Animal Care Unit and the LRC.

Graduate Success & Tradition

The college has been training scientists and other professionals since 1953, and in 2011 20% of our graduates achieved First Class degrees.

High-Quality Courses

Nescot is an associate institution for Kingston University and the University of Greenwich. The College holds 'Sponsor Status' from the UK Border Agency.

Our campus is set in the beautiful Surrey countryside, as featured in the Olympics cycling road races in 2012, but is also a short journey to central London.
